We are saying the same thing; you are in BRICS, because of your WHITE economy.
You are with Palestine, because you're a renowned political prima donna, desperately punching above your weight class..

If we look at it crutically, the black South African economy might be worse than that of Chad. Thats if we extricate the quantity and quality of industrial growth, orchestrated by white wealth from the whole mix. Result will be disastrous. What with most of you still living off government handouts and in government subsidised buildings.

BTW, I'm not against you guys down there. Said that much in my initial post. I just think that you black south Africans need a reality check. You all should get a grip and understand that you have not arrived yet.

So basically you're saying in the year 2300 everything good will still be because of whites in SA. Blacks contribute nothing. Ok, i get you.🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Keep wailing in your sleep. Rwanda, Botswana, Ethiopia are doing great without whites. Its only SA depending on whites. ENVY/ JEALOUSY 🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾😂😂😂😂

MadPolitician:
Let south Africa try any policy on land redistribution and see whether they will not find themselves at No 300 real quick. Zimbabwe was doing good and had the highest literacy levels in the whole of sub saharan Africa under Mugabe. That was until the man couldn't bear it any more, and started asking questions as to why a 5% minority whites, controls almost 90% of the arable lands in a country that earns almost everything from agro related exports. The west quickly blew up the economy. Thats how a Mugabe that was always welcomed at Buckingham Palace with ted carpets, was framed instantly as another Idi Amin Dada.

I'm not disparaging the south African authorities for choosing to follow a path that works for them, but they should know that the west allows them a lot of economic prosperity simply because the ruling blacks have swallowed their egos, and allowed the minority whites to control all real agents of economic growth. That must be a bitter pill to swallow. And this also accounts for the frustrations in the black communities, the transfers of aggressions on the migrant African communities over there, and the increase in prostitution and drug use amongst black South Africans as poverty and want, rage waywardly.

You mean like how black SA has aligned with BRICS countries and is vocal for Palestine against the wishes of the West? This while Nigeria twiddles its thumbs.

Keep dreaming all of you - black SA keeps you up at night - clearly 🇳🇬👎🏾😂😂😂😂

I can't believe my eyes. South Africa amongst World Super Power in 2024. This is amazing. Hopefully by 2050 the could be among top 10. A win for Africa.. Nice one South Africa

The automatic recipient of the Security Council permanent seat with veto power. The others can scramble for the other African seat 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆

The man in the pic, is he also a first lady?

😂😂😂

First Lady is an outdated term - there's probably a modern day description for the meeting.

The City of Joburg is proposing to rename Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive, continuing the trend of renaming key roads in the city.

The city invited comments from interested and affected parties, who have 28 days to respond.

The proposal comes a year after another key road, William Nicole Drive, was renamed Winnie Mandela Drive on September 23, 2023.

Notably, it is not the first time the name change has been put forward. The change was proposed in 2018, supported by the majority of councillors.

However, according to City of Joburg ward councillor Martin Williams, the proposal had been altered post-approval, which may open it up to legal challenges.

He said that Al Jama-ah, seconded by the ANC, initially proposed renaming Sandton Drive as Ramallah City Drive, but this was later amended by the EFF to make the change to Leila Khaled Drive.

The response from users on Twitter has not been positive.

Many respondents called the move to rename Sandton Drive a waste of money and resources—especially given the city’s financial constraints and massive infrastructure issues—while others called it divisive.

Some raised concerns about the new name, given that Leila Khaled has no real ties to South Africa or Johannesburg and is a controversial figure in the Israel-Palestine war.

Khaled is a Palestinian liberation fighter known for hijacking and attempting to hijack planes in 1969 and 1970. She has become a popular pro-Palestine icon among supporters.

However, Williams noted that she has no ties to Joburg specifically, nor has she contributed in any meaningful way to the city’s development—some of the key requirements to justify a name change.

He also stressed that the proposed change goes against many of the name-change rules and brings the City of Joburg into the Israel-Palestine conflict, antagonising one side over the other—the opposite of goodwill.

Name changes remain a controversial talking point in South Africa at the best of times. However, at the very least, the changes put forward are tied to local heritage.

Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie said earlier this month that the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) and the Provincial Geographical Names Committees (PGNCs) are planning a fresh push for name changes in the country.

There are currently 66 applications for name changes for several geographical features in South Africa, listed by the South African Geographic Names Council (SAGNC) as being processed.

These name changes will apply to various geographical features across the country as outlined within the SAGNC mandate, including towns, villages, settlements, townships, mountains, rivers, airports, roads, and post offices.

The council has gazetted and named or renamed 1,505 geographical features in South Africa since its inception.

Many of the name changes are taking place in only a handful of provinces, with the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal being particularly aggressive in this.

Gauteng (encompassing Johannesburg) has not been as prominent in the name-change game but has targeted key routes in its endeavours.

King Misuzulu KaZwelithini says xenophobic sentiments have no place in KwaZulu-Natal, as he called for the embrace of foreign nationals and an inclusive environment for the province to thrive.

The king used the commemoration of the death of the founding monarch of the Zulu nation, King Shaka KaSenzangakhona, to address tensions between South Africans and foreigners.

He said: “Let us not abuse and ill-treat foreign nationals. Instead let us show them our ways because we know they come here to look for a better life and we must be happy they choose to come here.”

The king instead advocated for the social and cultural integration of migrants.

Tensions between South Africans and foreigners resurfaced recently over the nationality of a beauty pageant contestant and have been simmering for weeks, and hostility persists on social media.

King Misuzulu said that if foreign nationals are isolated in city enclaves away from the essence of the principles of ubuntu (humanity) they may stray with no guidance.

“It can be Nigerians, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, tell them this is a Zulu nation, tell them you have a king here. Bring them to me. Because if you stay with them in cities and do the things you do, things will get out of hand.

“Let us show them who we are and what we stand for, ubuntu. And move forward with purpose towards a common goal,” said King Misuzulu.

King Misuzulu, who took over the throne three years ago when his father, King Zwelithini died, was also celebrating his birthday.

Sepukku:
You do know what "indirect taxes" in the disciplines of economics and finance are right?

Where does that illegal Nigerian Restuarant source its beef, chicken, lamb, onions etc. from. I am guessing they ship all the ingredients from Nigeria, no?

How does this illegal Nigerian restaurant pay for their electricity. They must be stealing it directly from across the border, no?

Bantu education I tell ya!

You're defending crime. Wouldn't the SA govt make more money if your people and other crooked aliens paid proper taxes like everyone else? But you're quick to fleece public amenities.

Sepukku:
You can't live in any country and not pay "taxes." What you are probably trying to intimate is that yours is "directly" taken out of your paycheck, no?

How do you pay tax when your sources of income are dodgy? 🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Sepukku:
I wasn't challenging that assertion. The black middle class were created by White monopoly capital ergo technically speaking White monopoly capital is still funding the development.

it's all in what redistribution process is being applied, no?

The black middle class emanated from the public and private sector, as well as through entrepreneurship. And only because of efforts of the black government since the advent of democracy. So your white worshipping technique that the black middle class is a result of WMC is total rubbish 🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Sepukku:
You see when I say you guys are slow in the head upstairs. Correlation does not imply causation Wannabegayhowzit.

Having average IQ's higher than that of Saffers does not cause the eventuality of a developed country.

If you wish I can elaborate, yes?

You're parasitic despite your "higher average IQ". My taxes help develop SA while you do everything to dodge paying taxes in SA because your sources of income are illegitimate and yet benefit from SA social services 🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Sepukku:
Answer; White monopoly capital.

Doesn't change the fact that Africa's largest black middle class pays taxes in SA and that a vast majority of Nigerian businesses in SA are illegitimate. FACT.

arantess:
your taxes?

do you have a job in SA?

i thought nigerians and other Africans have taken your jobs, that why your xenophobic arse keep crying all day long.

we paid mandela taxes to free your slave arses from the white man who held you bound for so long

You think SA became the most advanced country in Africa through waitering and bouncer taxes that all you illegal aliens have? 😂😂😂 Try another line.

Since when do Japagerians pay taxes either in Hunger-geria or SA? 90% of your businesses in SA are illegitimate.

arantess:
she has gone on to greater things where your ugly girls will never attain.

we will keep owning your women and breeding them while you keep drinking nkonboti as you blame the whole world for your frustrations.

Where were the women you're breeding when all of SA was trashing Chidimma into the garbage bin? 🇳🇬👎🏾😂😂😂😂

Sepukku:
You are just demonstrating what I am talking about. I didn't say the country itself. I said the average IQ of the people who inhabit. Two different subject matters.

Pay attention will you.

Average high IQs that can't develop their country to habitable standards & would rather go parasite my taxes in SA? 🇳🇬👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Sepukku:
You know that girl Chidinma is going to win her case. no? I wont tell you how because we all know you are an undercover gay spy here and will go taddle tale to Home affairs but mark my words Johnny no brain, it's going to happen.

Let me give you a small advice, go read your constitution. All of it.

I see you guys still cant sleep at night over this matter - SA really caused you guys national trauma with this 💣💥💥💥 And this snow is just compounding your trauma 😂🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆

Sepukku:
It's not a rejection, it's a fear of being outbred by a more intelligent and higher IQ'ed breed of Africans.

Yeah Japageria is a model of development to be emulated by all 😂😂😂

Sepukku:
Save the applause for your illiterate comrades.

Enjoy the weather while you can, it's the only beautiful thing about South Africa.

😝😝😝

CJStarz:
Then why go xenophobic on people who live like 'packed sardines in a Hillbrow flat'?
Mehhn,that shows how petty and docile U guys can be.....no wonder the Whites in your country treat u lots as less than slaves.
Two black women killed n fed to swine by your white owners....u did nuffing.....absolutely nuffing to them,yet u keep hating on ur fellow blacks and people who helped you break d yoke of apartheid.....ungrateful lots.....keep packing snow for your White Masters

Thanks, we're ballin' in the snow - the source of your frustrations this afternoon 😂😂😂 Keep wailing. The snow atleast is covering the crime & grime you imported into SA. That's the source of our xenophobia.

arantess:
you forgot to add their women...

we literally take their women and breed them.
that's why they hate us so much cos their women gat real love for us with our doings.
.

How's your spawn Chidimma doing? Has she recovered from the rejection she got from all sectors of SA society? This was a serious blow to Japageria - you're rejects in SA. 🇿🇦😎🏆🏆🏆 Where were the women you breed to defend poor Chidimma and her japagerian father 😢😢😢

CJStarz:
Yeah,we brace the odds,reach oyibo land and make it big! Surprised? Whilst u guys keep on hating on us,we buying up ur lands and houses. What are u doing here on Nairaland if not 'to belong' to the elite?
Oh wow....
Someone's muting creating a Randland 😂😂

Which lands and houses? Last time i checked you lived like sardines packed in a tin in one Hillbrow flat. The place has become a no-go area because of the grime you imported from Hunger-geria. All that remains is for you to start openly defecating in the streets of Hillbrow like you do back home 🇳🇬👎🏾💩💩💩💩

CJStarz:
Since you're not a Nigerian,U are a Stowaway here on the ship of Nairaland😂😂😂

Chai, so you guys would rather drink your own urine to reach onyiboland than stay in your homeland and develop it? 🇳🇬 I think this article omitted what they ate because its too graphic💩💩💩

JaceBlaze:
Well,not yet but you can bet as we speak out broda must be preparing us a 15 paragragh thesis on how about how we would be worse off than Somalia "if de whyte maan did not develop our khwantry"

Expect it!

😂😂😂😂 So predictable these envious ones.

JaceBlaze:
Don't write him off yet.The "we steal your women and jobs" has not been fired from his arsenal yet👀 .Let's pray and hope that he don't drop that one 🙏😆

😂😂😂😂

Has he white worshipped yet?

JaceBlaze:
He tells me to f?ck off.I thought he came to teach us something

You peppered him wotowoto in a matter of seconds - he couldn't stand the heat 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆

JaceBlaze:
And that's enough input for the day,I reckon?

Go on,grab your machete from under the bed and go kill another innocent human,spill out their guts and sell them to the nearest local voodoo doctor..you can't help it.It's in your DNA🤞

Am I striking a chord yet? Come on ikwes,I got a whole day today😀😀 .I want to bash your brains in before I go out and grab few cold ones for a good Heritage Day treat🍻🍺🇿🇦

🤣🤣🤣🤣

CJStarz:
Wetin concern us with una snow road matter?
Abeg shift

I forgot as prolific stowaways you prefer to travel inside plane engines instead 🇳🇬👎🏾💩💩💩

KLEINBASS:
At that time your scammer drug dealer brother is selling his assets to get a visa to South Africa to come run around like a headless chicken.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dope cartoon! Envy is murderizing these ones.

MrLibrarian:
We don't give a shit about your useless, stupid and God forsaken country.
Leave this forum and find elsewhere to post this shit

SA snow giving you guys a real headache 🤕🤕🤕 didn't know you were so jealous 😂😂😂

Pity Chidimma isn't here to enjoy the snow with us 😢

JaceBlaze:
There is nothing to learn from a desperate,hungry,human organ-snatching ritualist...NOTHING!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The snowy conditions that led to the closure of several roads including the busy N3 highway at the weekend raised questions about the transport infrastructure’s ability to deal with extreme weather in South Africa.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bobUFwR8OAA?si=RQ7f1wWEwkQ0Qzo6

The toll road linking Johannesburg to Durban was thrown into chaos when road users were trapped in heavy snow. Hundreds of motorists were stranded and at least one person died of hypothermia as icy conditions, wet weather and poor visibility affected parts of the country including KwaZulu-Natal, the Free State and Eastern Cape.

Many roads were impassable, leading to vehicles being stuck on the road for nearly two days, resulting in people being cold and hungry while they awaited help in freezing conditions. Midlands emergency services reported a woman died of the cold in Merrivale, near Howick, after travelling in a taxi which had become stuck.

It raised the question why icy weather has such a dramatic effect on traffic in South Africa compared with countries in the northern hemisphere that are much more heavily affected by snow but do not close their roads, except in exceptional circumstances.

The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) said South Africa's roads are designed and built for the local climate. Snowfall more than 1m deep, as occurred at the weekend, is not normal and does not happen every year.

“Roads in the northern hemisphere are designed and built for sub-zero winter temperatures and regular and heavy snowfall. South African vehicles are not equipped to travel on snow-covered roads. Vehicles in the northern hemisphere may have special tyres, or chains in the case of the heavy vehicles,” said Vusi Mona, Sanral GM for communications and marketing.

Winter tyres are designed to cope with colder temperatures. They are made of a different type of rubber compared with regular tyres, with deeper tread grooves that help vehicles grip the road better in the cold and ice. In many European countries it is a legal requirement for motorists to have winter tyres on their vehicle for specific periods of the year, while drivers also carry snow chains to help their vehicles grip.

In countries where it snows regularly during winter, road-clearing measures are introduced including deploying snow ploughs and sprinkling rock salt on icy roadways to melt the ice. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which prevents ice from forming.

Unlike their northern hemisphere counterparts, South African drivers are also not accustomed to slippery, ice-covered roads and do not have the skills to handle the conditions.

The N3 highway was reopened on Sunday evening and traffic is flowing after the extensive backlog between KwaZulu-Natal and Free State provinces was cleared and trapped motorists were rescued.

Mona said discussions are under way to ensure more resilient infrastructure, given the climate change challenges and how they affect road safety.

Sepukku:
Stop it WannabeHowzit. The only reason you are posting about this peculiar weather is that most of your borders have temporarily shut down.

😂😂😂 Creativity at last, applause Morpheus.

KingCold:
Nope. It's not insult, I'm saying it as I see it, you're dumb. That's goes for the majority of people on this forum

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
